OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine quality of life impairment in hidradenitis suppurativa. METHODS: Questionnaires were administered to 61 patients. RESULTS: Quality of life impact in hidradenitis was much greater than that of several other dermatologic conditions. LIMITATION: This hospital-based population may not be representative. CONCLUSION: Hidradenitis is one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology.
